Chapter 3 Borrowing usury

Rock City is a small city, a small city with a diameter of only about ten miles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Rock Town may be a little smaller, but it's lively, with shops lining the streets, and several important main roads with people and horse-drawn carriages passing by.

Outside the city gates.

The monkey was dressed in a green robe, with impatience on his face, and waited anxiously.

When Lin Jian stepped out of the caravan carriage.

He was overjoyed, and immediately trotted up to meet him.

"Ringo, here...... ...... here"

Get close.

Lin Jian directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Monkey, that gold coin you got you?"

This is a question that has been baffling Lin Jian, according to normal circumstances, the monkey can't take out 50 gold coins at all.

The monkey scratched his head and laughed.

"Brother Lin, the gold coin is borrowed, you don't care, Shopkeeper Li will be coming soon, let's go to the city first."

The monkey stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Jian, preparing to go into the city and talk about anything else.

However, Lin Jian stood still and did not move.

Clearly, the monkey is hiding something.

Lin Jian is deeply aware of the cruelty of the game world, how can a monkey borrow 50 gold coins at will.

50 gold coins, that's the wealth that takes half a year of mining to save.

Lin Jian's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked in a low voice again.

"Where the hell did the gold come from?"

The monkey hung his head helplessly.

Obviously, this is to get to the bottom of the matter, and he understands that if he doesn't give a satisfactory answer, he will definitely not give up easily.

The monkey had to be honest.

"Brother Lin, the gold coins are really borrowed, but the interest is a bit high."

As soon as the thought in Lin Jian's mind turned, he instantly thought of a possibility.

"Loan shark?"

In the game world, there is a group of people who specialize in borrowing and collecting profits for a living.

They tend to lend gold coins to people who need them urgently, but the interest they charge is usually very high, at least one gold coin per day, and those who are a little more ruthless can earn ten percent of the principal every day.

This is a group of ruthless people.

The monkey went out to borrow a loan shark.

Lin Jian was grateful, but more worried.

Those who dare to lend usury are extremely powerful, and if the monkey can't pay the gold coins, then it is very likely to cause big trouble.

Although in the game world, death can be reborn, but there are many ways to make people unable to survive and die.

Lin Jian's expression moved, and he wanted to blame the monkey for a few words, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking again.

Although the interest rate of usury is very high, as long as you buy equipment, kill the mutant gold-eating beast, and then sell the equipment and props that it explodes.

Then it is easy to return the gold coins.

Thinking about it like this, Lin Jian was a lot more relieved.

It was at this time that

The monkey raised his head, stretched out his finger and called in the direction of the city gate.

"Brother Lin, shopkeeper Li is here......"

A few hundred meters away, a middle-aged man who looked a little rich walked over slowly.

He was wearing a light blue robe, and from time to time he stretched out his fat fleshy hand and smeared it on his forehead, looking like he was struggling to walk.

The monkey quickly caught up.

"Shopkeeper Li, we're here ......"

After the three of them turned over the politeness.

Soon they walked side by side and walked slowly into the city.

Half an hour later.

Shopkeeper Li led the two to a small shop.

It's a very small shop, it's only a few dozen square meters.

The dilapidated counter is in the center, and to the left of the counter is a wooden recliner with a lean middle-aged man lying horizontally.

He squinted slightly, holding a broken round fan in his hand, and shook it gently for a while.

As soon as he entered the small shop, Shopkeeper Li clasped his fists with both hands and said politely to the middle-aged man on the recliner.

"Boss Liu's business is prosperous, and his business is prosperous......"

Greetings are heard.

Boss Liu quickly opened his eyes, casually put the broken round fan aside, turned his body over, and got up quickly.

He only runs a small shop, sells very limited items, and does business with acquaintances.

Business has been a bit bleak recently, it hasn't opened for almost a week, and now that business has come to him, he naturally seems a little anxious.

However, although he was anxious in his heart, he didn't make a sound immediately after getting up, but instead held his chin with one hand and looked at Lin Jian and the two thoughtfully.

It's obvious.

Lin Jian and the others were dressed, and they could be seen at a glance that they were two miners.

Boss Liu quickly came to a conclusion.

"Two more guys who want to be battle players......"

Boss Liu has seen a lot of such people.

After a long period of hard work, they have saved enough gold coins to buy weapons, and then they will happily buy a silver-level weapon, and they will look for a team to join and follow the team to farm elite monsters.

But this kind of person often doesn't know how powerful the elite monster is, and will be ruthlessly killed by the elite monster when he goes out on the first mission.

Players who can really get through this level and follow the team for a long time to farm elite monsters, there may not be one of the dozens of people.

Boss Liu's eyes quickly filled with contempt.

Shopkeeper Li was a little impatient, and directly explained his intentions.

"Boss Liu, these two friends of mine have taken a fancy to your "Flaming Fury" staff, and they have come to beg you to cut their love......"

Boss Liu was instantly happy.

This "Flaming Fury" staff was a piece of silver equipment that he had received from a casual player several months ago, and it didn't have any attributes attached to it except for a more useful attack skill.

Because of this, its usefulness has been greatly discounted.

Real combat players can't look at it, and life professional players don't have enough purchasing power, so it has been pressed in their hands, and no one is willing to take it over so far.

Although Boss Liu was happy in his heart, he was not polite at all.

"You're waiting here......"

After dropping a sentence casually, he turned around, and walked directly back to the back hall of the shop, leaving Lin Jian and the others in place.

Two minutes later.

The curtain flickered, and Boss Liu came out of the back hall.

He held a long box in his arms, went straight to the counter, stretched out his hand, and directly put the box in his arms on the counter.

Then, with pride, he pointed to the box on the counter and asked.

"Who of you came to see the goods?"

Lin Jian spoke eagerly.

"I'll ......"

This was a matter discussed by the three of them, and the attributes of the equipment were personally checked by Lin Jian.

Lin Jian's steps flashed, and he quickly came to the counter and opened the lid of the box with a casual flip.

A small staff came into view.

It was a twisted vine-shaped staff, half an arm's length and a meter long.

Inside the wand, countless tiny magic runes faintly flowed.

At the top of the staff, there was a fist-sized fiery red gem, and countless fiery red halos flickered and circulated within the gem.

It lay quietly at the bottom of the box.

Lin Jian retracted his gaze after a slight glance, and then grabbed the staff in the palm of his hand, and then his expression froze, concentrating on investigating the attributes of the staff.

Equipment: Staff [1 turn]

Name: Fury of Fire

Grade: Silver

Additional attributes: None

Skill: Flame Arrow [Level 3]

Flame Arrow: After the skill is cast, it can be gathered into an arrow formed by the fire element, attacking targets within 50 meters of the surrounding area, dealing a small amount of impact damage and fire damage to the target.

Skill Chill Time: None

Equipment weight: 56

Conditions of use: None

This staff does not have any basic attributes attached, but the skills attached to it are very practical, at least enough for Lin Jian.

"Flaming Arrow"

That's an instantaneous fire type skill.

Fire attributeAmong the nine magic attributes, the attack power is notoriously strong.

Although the "Flame Arrow" is an instantaneous skill, and its attack power will be much worse, even if it is worse, its attack power can also break the defense of the mutant gold-eater, and even cause very considerable damage.

This staff, Lin Jian was very satisfied.

At least for now, it's enough.

Although it can't be used to face real elite monsters, it is quite easy to use the natural card monster platform in the mine to kill mutant gold-eating beasts.

Lin Jian was looking at the properties of the staff.

Boss Liu immediately introduced himself and boasted.

"This staff is the best, and the additional skills on it are fire attribute skills with powerful attack power, but several people have come to inquire recently, if they hadn't bid too low, I would have made a move a long time ago......"

After a pause, he continued.

"Now, for 500 gold coins, the staff is yours."

Boss Liu said very proudly.

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, opened his five fingers, and flipped in front of Lin Jian several times.

His meaning was clear, the price of the staff was 500 gold coins.

Lin Jian confirmed that he had heard and read correctly.

In an instant, anger surged up.

A feeling of being deceived came naturally.

Shopkeeper Li made it very clear that this staff can be purchased with 300 gold coins, but now Boss Liu said 500 gold coins.

"What's going on?"

Lin Jian was puzzled, with anger, and quickly turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Li.
